Audio is processed locally by your browser — nothing is sent to our servers.
How It Works
Click the microphone button and speak. Your words appear as you talk. Choose language, toggle continuous mode, then copy or download the transcript.
**Speech to Text — Real-Time Voice Transcription**
Speech to Text (STT) converts spoken words into written text. Our tool uses the Web Speech Recognition API built into Chrome and Edge — transcription happens in real time with no audio uploaded to our servers.
**Use Cases**
- **Dictation** — Write emails, notes, and documents by speaking
- **Meeting notes** — Transcribe conversations in real time
- **Accessibility** — Input text without a keyboard
- **Language learning** — Check your pronunciation accuracy
- **Subtitle drafting** — Create rough transcripts for video editing
**How It Works**
The Web Speech API sends short audio clips to the browser's speech recognition service (Google's servers for Chrome). This is separate from our tool — no data goes to ToolVerse servers.
**Continuous vs Single Mode**
- **Continuous** — Keeps listening and appending text until you stop
- **Single** — Stops after a pause in speech
**Supported Languages**
17 languages including English (US/UK/AU), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and Bengali.
